Our Trip to Ann and Sandy Cross...




Arrowhead - large





Looking up inside the tipi


Looking out over the land - where would you put your tipi?


Fescue Grass - native to Alberta



Brome Grass - introduced invasive grass

Looking at a gall - maybe a wasp in there


Thinking about the ecological footprint of the First Nations people





Can you see the mule deer? Do you know how to tell the difference between mule deer and white-tailed deer?

Bergomot - anyone want to make Earl Grey tea?

Saskatoon Berries


Can you see the hoof print? What animal do you think made it?

Learning about the settlers:
An old plow - Is it art or is it garbage?

Eating lunch

A beautiful chinook arch



Bear Scat - see the berries?

Coyote scat - look how twisted it is

Deer scat

Can you see Calgary? Look at the brown layer covering our city. This is smog (air pollution).
